The University of Georgia (UGA) has seen protests centered on issues such as political activism, particularly in support of Palestinian rights. In April 2024, several students were arrested during a pro-Palestinian demonstration that included a camp on campus, challenging UGA’s policies on protest sites. The protests highlighted tension between students advocating for free speech and the university administration enforcing regulations. While some defended the university’s stance on maintaining order, others criticized it for stifling student voices. For more details, see sources such as RFE/RL and Georgia Today.
